Chapter 55


    Although he did not know the specific reason, Frederick understood that everything which


    happened to her earlier on was because of him. At this moment, he felt sorry and was determined


    to protect her.


    No matter how sincere he was to the woman in his arms, there was one thing that he was


    absolutely sure of- Alicia was his woman! Except for him, no one could touch her!


    Alicia was confused.


    She didn''t understand what he meant.


    Even after the banquet had ended, she still didn''t understand what was going on.


    However, when she went back to the room and finished showering, she noticed a tragic problem.


    Her foot was so painful that she couldn''t feel it anymore.


    "Your foot is really swollen. Why didn''t you tell me? Do you want to be disabled?" Frederick said.


    Seeing her red and swollen ankle, Frederick took out the ointment with a gloomy face. He was a


    little unhappy, but her movement was careful when he lifted her leg. Although it still hurt, she


    swallowed back the anger that initially arose in her.


    She suddenly felt that he seemed to care about her!

    "Ouch! Oh, it hurts so much..."


    "Don''t move. It will only work if I rub it in!" Frederick insisted. Looking at him holding her delicate


    foot with his warm big hands, Alicia never thought that he would do such a thing for her.


    It was not until a sharp pain hit her that she could not help but gasp again.


    "So fussy! It''s just a little painful!" Frederick said.


    This time, Alicia was not angry. She answered pitifully, "I''m a patient!"


    "Then, you''d better be obedient and take an early rest!" His voice finally calmed down.


    His voice finally calmed down. Frederick got up and went to wash his hands. When he came out, he


    saw that she was still sitting on the bed in a daze.


    "What''s wrong?" Frederick asked.


    "Nothing!" she replied. Shaking her head, Alicia turned around and climbed onto the bed.


    In fact, there were some matters that she couldn''t wrap her head around. She couldn''t figure out


    why he suddenly got angry after eating the ravioli and swept it to the ground, or why Hallie did those


    things to her. It was bugging her. She wanted to ask but she didn''t dare to do so.


    Alicia was uncertain about this marriage, or Frederick, or even their future. In fact, she didn''t have


    too many expectations.


    The reason she was silent regarding these matters was not that she was dreaming of a fortune. It


    was because she also needed this marriage to give her parents peace of mind. At this point, the two


    of them shared the same goal!


    Therefore, this was her decision and choice. Even if


    she was wronged, she was willing to bear with it.


    Looking at her actions, Frederick gnashed his teeth in disgust.


    As for Alicia, it was not a big deal at all. She pulled the quilt, found afortable position, and gave


    him a silly smile.


    In the end, Frederick didn''t say anything. He lifted the quilt gracefully and got into bed.


    A habit was really a terrible thing. He didn''t like any movement or sound beside him when he was


    sleeping. However, when shey away from him, he felt it was hard for him to fall asleep.


    Moving closer to her, Frederick naturally embraced her in his arms. "Do you want to fulfill your


    promise now or do you want to put it on your tab?"


    Looking up, Alicia did not respond for a moment. "Huh?"


    "Do you want to go back on your promise?" Frederick murmured.


    His words, apanied by his intimate gesture, made Alicia''s face instantly turn red. "I... I''m not


    going back on my word!"


    Frederick smiled in a low voice and kissed her forehead. "Owing to your injury, I allow you to keep it


    on your ount, but you have to pay some interest!"


    Alicia immediately sat up and said, "No!" He was obviously taking advantage of her!


    Alicia had endured the suffering from usury for half a year. If it wasn''t for the manager of the


    nightclub who helped her, she might have been sold now. That experience was simply her


    nightmare. She hated the word "interest" very much!


    She gritted her teeth and lifted her head, but her voice was low. "Didn''t you want... that?"


    She really wanted to have the courage to say e on", but she couldn''t shout it out. Hence, she


    directly leaned on him and circled her arms around his neck, nibbling on his lips.


    Although it was unexpected, Frederick was still delighted by her enthusiasm. He turned over and


    pressed her under him.


    "Baby, well do something special today!" Frederick said.


    "Huh?" Could it be that he was nning to try something perverted again?


    Shocked, Alicia stretched out her hand and pushed him away. "No! I don''t want it!"


    She thought that it was definitely inconvenient to find an animal or anything of that sort, but it was


    possible to find candles or ropes. She wasn''t into any of that. Hence, Alicia roared.


    Hence, Alicia roared. "I don''t y any of those tricks! If you dare to put anything disgusting in my


    body, I''ll tell Grandma that you bullied me! I''ll sue you!"


    In fact, he just wanted her to shout a little louder!


    Seeing that she was overthinking, Frederick didn''t bother to exin either. He said, "Then, let''s


    draw a few flowers and we can wash it off tomorrow."


    He deliberately teased her. He looked at her body with naughty eyes. In an instant, Alicia''s heart


    fluttered and she almost screamed.


    "Ah! No, no!"


    Frederick casually made a move. As expected, he lowered his head and kissed her on the lips. The


    bed made creaking sounds as they moved.


    In addition to the asional moans from Alicia, there was a faint trace of ambiguous sound that


    could be heard from the corridor, which made people''s imagination run wild. It made all the people


    who passed by lower their heads and quicken their steps.


    Hallie walked into her mother''s room with milk in her hands. Her mother had changed into her


    pajamas, but she was still pacing back and forth. "Mom-".


    Hallie turned around and locked the door of the room as she called out to her mother.


    Before the banquet was over, she saw her father leaving the ce. She couldn''t sleep because she


    had something on her mind. Therefore, she came over to talk to her mother and brought a ss of


    milk as an excuse.


    "Halley, it''s you! Why aren''t you sleeping at such ate hour?"


    "It''s so loud. I wonder who can sleep now?" Hallie said.


    In fact, she didn''t hear anything at first, but when she went downstairs to get some milk, she


    overheard the servants on duty talking among themselves. Then, she couldn''t help but pay attention


    to the noise when she headed upstairs. In addition to that, she got so angry when she thought of


    Brian who was dismissive of her but praised Alicia!


    How could that b*tch bepared with her?


    "Mom, look at the two of them! Grandma and Dad are biased towards them. Because of him, the


    Three Great Masters didn''t even care about me. Once he came back, we had to endure him. I can''t


    even go after Willy. Now that I''veid eyes on another man, his wife had toe and steal my


    spotlight. Even Brian was obviously absent- minded..." Hallieined.


    It was rare for Caroline to have something else to attend to and to have missed the banquet.


    However, someone was around to steal her spotlight again. It was really annoying!


    She gritted her teeth, and Hallie''s beautiful face was twisted.


    "If they really give birth to a baby boy, well lose our position here. What should we do then?" Hallie


    asked.


    Hallie''s question seemed casual and unintentional, but in fact, it was something worth worrying


    about!
